Question 1

Where can we park?

Accepted Answer

Disability parking is available alongside the fence to the school and entry to Zombie Green Village. 
There is additional parking along the road at bottom of the school  and in the DCC carpark.

Question 2

What should we bring/wear?

Accepted Answer

The slip n slide works best if you wear a wetsuit or swimwear. No sharp objects should be on your clothing, like buttons, zips etc as they could tear the liner of the slip n slide. You will get wet, dirty and soapy; bring a change of cloths, warm blanket, towels.

Question 3

Should I wear shoes?

Accepted Answer

You can chose to wear shoes for the run and place these into the property basket for your run at the top of the slip n slide. These can be collected when you finish the run. Our field and the events are safe for most people to run barefoot. You are free to decide what is best for you.

Question 4

My child or myself may need support, can we participate?

Accepted Answer

The run has designed to be flexible, you can opt out or adapt all of the obstacles. There are two types of runs with the option to participate in a 
supported run if required due to age or needs. A support person can accompany a wheelchair user in any run free of charge.

Question 5

How scary will this be?

Accepted Answer

At the safety briefing you will be introduced to one of our Zombies, so young children can see that our actors are delightful Year 7 and 8 students from our school. The Zombies have been trained to give a quick fright, or pursue for about 10 seconds. They will never physically touch any participant.

Question 6

What if the event is cancelled?

Accepted Answer

The event will only be postponed to Sunday 5th Nov only if it is unsafe to proceed- high winds or extreme weather event. If the event can also not run on the Sunday, it will be cancelled and your ticket refunded, less a 20% admin fee to cover non-refundable costs to the school.

Question 7

Can we cancel our ticket?

Accepted Answer

We are sorry if you are unwell or plans change after you have bought your ticket. We can not process individual refunds, however, you may find someone else who would like to use your tickets. You need to let the school know this as we use your name in the registration process.

Question 8

Will there be changing facilities and toilets?

Accepted Answer

We will have our school hall open for you to use to get changed and the toilet block opposite the hall will also be open.  Please do not use the toilets to change in, this is important for everyone to access toilets in a timely manner and ensure everyone can get to their run on time.

Question 9

Will there be food and drink available?

Accepted Answer

There sure will. We will have a Zombie Store with plenty of snacks and drinks. A sausage sizzle (vegetarian options also available) and other food options. You can also bring a picnic rug and find a space in our beautiful grounds to base your family during the day.

Question 10

What happens if we are running late?

Accepted Answer

Don't be! Please plan to be early. You need to register for your run, prepare to run and be there for the safety briefing. We can't mess with the timetable of the day for 540 participants and our volunteers. The event might be running behind; if there is an accident or delay, don't expect clockwork.

Question 11

What if someone is hurt?

Accepted Answer

We have taken every precaution to prevent injuries and have also planned for caring for our guests if anyone is injured. We have first aid on site. The driveway is to be kept free of vehicles if we do require an ambulance. If an injury occurs the run will be paused- this may impact our run times.
